Short answer: the Neumann KH120 MKII, about as flat as the reviewer has measured. Its CEA2034 spinorama also shows excellent directivity aside from a minor blip around 2kHz. The Edifier S2000MKIII’s case is a high resolution digital input up to 192kHz/24bit.
Buy the Neumann KH120 MKII. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $1,303.02 saving on the Edifier S2000MKIII is not enough to make up the difference.
